Re: Problem

I have a friend who has this idea of a new type of CAPTCHA. Instead of it being a little design in which you enter the two words that you see, it asks a simple question that any one can get. Any type of automated registration bot will be defeated by the question.

For example, instead of the CAPTCHA, use the question "What is two + two?" and have the values and operator randomized. This will force a spammer to individually register to spam the site.

There may be flaws in this plan as my knowledge on automated spamming is limited, but it's a step in the right direction, even if it isn't implemented.
